Southside Village

Sam Snead’s American Grill, a restaurant that recently reopened in the Southside Village, has closed “until further notice,” according to a sign posted at the establishment over the weekend.

The restaurant, which is located at 1830 S Osprey Ave., reopened in November for a few months after closing in the summer time last year. Sam Snead’s served steaks, ribs, burgers and chicken from an oak-fired oven while surrounded by golf memorabilia for decades.

The restaurant is named for the golfing legend who won a record 82 Professional Golfers Association tour events, including seven majors. Snead’s career spanned from the 1930s to the 1980s, and he died in 2002 at age 89, in his native Virginia.

“Sam Snead was an all around amazing athlete including being an all star football player in high school,” said William Steinmetz, new managing partner at the restaurant, when the restaurant reopened in November. “I’d like to think he would enjoy watching football with us here on Sunday.”

It’s unclear why Sam Snead’s closed again and if it will reopen. A sign on the restaurant’s front doors read “closed until further notice” over the weekend. Restaurant owners did not return calls for comment.
